FRIDAY UPDATE: The White House is very sad about this, as The Denver Post reports: Though many of Trump’s real-world policies and actions were spotlighted in the show – such as defunding National Public Radio, implementing tariffs on Canadian goods, and expressing displeasure with a portrait of himself in the Colorado State Capitol – the […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, one of the state’s well-funded conservative advocacy groups has teamed up with a presumptive Republican candidate for governor to jam Colorado’s Democratic-controlled majority in their attempt to reduce the harm from the recently-passed “We’re All Going To Die Act” federal budget bill: A conservative advocacy group and a […]
Colorado Republicans have long claimed that our state is a playground for criminals, a narrative driven by outrageous claims that Denver is a crime-ridden hellhole. Facts have not generally supported this hysteria, and Colorado voters have tended to ignore the “sky is falling” tales from Republicans. Back in 2014, Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez tried […]
Earlier this month, Democratic state representative and congressional candidate Manny Rutinel was given a much-deserved rhetorical spanking by 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark after committing one of the oldest, most avoidable, and yet all too common faux pas in Colorado politics: campaign materials featuring landscape photos of mountains not located in Colorado. In our two decades of […]

Republican candidates have been getting creamed in Colorado for more than a decade now. There are a lot of reasons for the GOP’s persistent failure to attract interest from voters — more than we could possibly explain in one sitting — but near the top of that list would be the Colorado Republican habit of […]
As Ernest Luning obligingly reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette, a Republican you may have heard of, though you’d be excused if you hadn’t, has filed to run for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate to face incumbent Sen. John Hickenlooper in November of 2026. Though we’d be surprised if perennial loser and former state […]
In a deliberate effort to minimize the political damage in the upcoming midterms from the cuts in the Republican budget bill signed into law last week by President Donald Trump, some of the most painful retail-facing provisions of the bill like the new reporting requirements to qualify for and retain Medicaid health coverage were written […]

This morning, America’s Most Vulnerable Freshman™ Rep. Gabe Evans removed any lingering doubt about his unswerving support for President Donald Trump’s budget reconciliation megabill known as the “We’re All Going To Die Act,” even after certain aspects of the legislation including cuts to Medicaid and renewable energy were made even more harmful by the Senate […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, oh no! The big bullshit bill has hit some serious roadblocks! Wait, sorry, OH YAY! The big bullshit bill had hit some serious roadblocks!

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder It’s been a rough couple years for food banks and the families they serve, particularly for the Weld Food Bank in Evans’ home county.

The right-wing Alliance Defending Freedom announced in May the lawsuit on behalf of Camp IdRaHaJe near Bailey over new Colorado Department of Early Childhood policy promoting gender equality, with all the fire and fervor of religious freedom endangered by the “woke” agenda to turn John into Jill some afternoon while they’re at school: Alliance Defending […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Sam Klomhaus reports, a former U.S. Postal Service worker in Grand Junction was sentenced to five years in the Colorado state hoosegow for her part in a crackpot scheme to “test” the state’s election security by stealing and voting 19 ballots that didn’t belong to her–otherwise known as election fraud: […]
Newsweek reports on the latest defining slip-up from former Senate Majority Leader and intermittently reanimated cadaver Mitch McConnell, who gave his most honest if heartless assessment about public opinion on the Republican budget proposal that will deprive millions of Americans of their Medicaid health coverage including one in three residents of McConnell’s native Kentucky: Republican […]
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr is diligently working on making Americans more deader (more MAMD than MAHA), and he continues to pursue his anti-logic policies while completely ignoring requests for more information from Congress. On Tuesday during a hearing of the Subcommittee on Health of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, ranking […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Stephanie Wolf reports, a ballot question put before Douglas County voters in a special election yesterday that would have granted the conservative bastion “home rule” status has failed by a lopsided margin that can only be interpreted as a humiliation for the county’s politically activist all-GOP board of commissioners: Voters in […]
UPDATE: Reps. Joe Neguse (D) and Jeff Hurd (R) issue a bipartisan statement blasting the now-dead public land sale provision in the GOP budget bill: Today, Congressmen Joe Neguse (CO-02) and Jeff Hurd (CO-03), who together represent Colorado’s Western Slope, issued the following statement after the Senate parliamentarian ruled Monday evening to remove provisions that […]
In case you missed the big news on Saturday evening (North American time), President Trump backtracked on years of anti-war claims by ordering the bombing of three sites believed to be key to Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions.

As Colorado Newsline reports, we’re seeing the first estimates now of what the impacts will be to Colorado’s state budget if the Republican trifecta in total control in Washington, D.C. passes the “We’re All Going To Die Act” budget reconciliation package that will cut funding from Medicaid, food assistance, and innumerable other programs that Coloradans […]
